LAURIN Handmade Turn-Up Beanie 100% Alpaca 7815 Leśny mix

The LAURIN alpaca beanie in Forest Mix is a handmade, fold-up beanie with a close fit. This shade combines deep forest greens with subtle tonal shifts, creating a calm, natural look that works well with everyday outfits as well as more outdoor-inspired styling. The double rib stitch gives it a defined, flexible texture, while the folded cuff adds an extra layer over the ears. The knit has a soft, visible halo typical of 100% alpaca.

A warm fold-up alpaca beanie for autumn and winter

I knitted LAURIN by hand with needles using 100% alpaca yarn certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100. Its medium weight and double rib construction help it retain warmth well, making it a good choice for winter or chilly autumn days. The fold-up cuff adds extra coverage over the ears and can be adjusted slightly to suit the height of your head.

• 100% alpaca with a soft halo – a natural fibre with good thermal insulation
• Medium weight and double rib knit – warmth suited to winter and cool autumn weather
• Fold-up construction – extra warmth over the ears and slight height adjustment
• Close-fitting beanie shape – sits neatly on the head without excess fabric at the crown
• Forest Mix green tones – a calm, versatile shade with a light marl effect that works with many jackets and coats
• Hand-knitted – careful, even stitching and controlled yarn tension
• High resistance to pilling – helps the beanie keep a neat look with proper care
• Children’s, women’s and men’s sizes – circumference options available (see the size chart in the product description for details)
• Eco-leather snap-on label – easy to remove before washing

Who is it a good fit for, and who might prefer something else?

Because it is made from 100% alpaca and has a warm fold-up construction, LAURIN Forest Mix is a good choice if you are looking for an autumn-winter beanie in a natural fibre that offers real warmth on colder days and works well with everyday outerwear such as a puffer jacket, parka or coat. It also makes a thoughtful handmade gift, as long as the recipient does not have very sensitive skin.

The surface of the knit has a delicate halo, and on very sensitive skin it may feel slightly itchy. If most wool fibres tend to irritate your forehead, it may be better to consider a thinner merino wool option or another alternative with a smoother fibre. If you usually wear natural wool well, this beanie should provide good warmth while still feeling soft to the touch.

Care and everyday use

To help your LAURIN alpaca beanie last for many seasons, it needs gentle care. Hand wash only in lukewarm water (maximum 30°C), without fabric softeners – wool does not respond well to them and may lose its elasticity. It is best to use a product such as SOAK or a gentle hair shampoo. After washing, do not wring the beanie – gently press out the water in a towel, then dry flat and reshape. This helps maintain its shape, the elasticity of the ribbing and reduces pilling.

• Hand wash in lukewarm water (up to 30°C) – helps preserve the fibre structure and elasticity
• Gentle detergent (SOAK or hair shampoo) – cleans without increasing the risk of felting
• Dry flat – helps the beanie keep its shape and fit
• Remove the label before washing – practical and safer for the details
